T 0 all to ham it may concern:

Be it known that I, HANS OLAUSSON HAN- snn, a subject of the King of Denmark, residing at Copenhagen, in the Kingdom of Denmark, have invented new and useful Improvements in Lathing-Sheets, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to lathing sheets of the kind used for plastering of walls and which consists of laths, reeds or the like fastened, by means 01 thinner wires of iron or other metal, to heavier parallel wires of iron or other metal, disposed at right angle to the laths. In lathing sheets oi this nature, it is known to fasten the laths to the heavier wires by the thin wires being drawn over the the laths and, being, between the same, wrapped a certain number of times around the heavier wires. This arrangement entails several dlsadvantages, however, one of these being that the fine wires, in order that they may be wrapped about the heavier ones w1thout the spacing of the laths, becoming too wide, must be so slender that they .w1ll easily break during wrapping as well as on account of rust, if they are stored for any length of time, or during transport, especially at sea. The durability of the lathing sheet is of course thus largely d11n1nished. Besides, the wrapping requires a relatively long time, and is therefore costly to perform.

These drawbacks are avoided entirely by the present invention, without rendermg the lathing sheet more difficult to manutacture. The invention is mainly characterized 1n that the finer wires disposed transversely in relation to the laths are bent, between the laths, into the shape of loops wh ch wholly or partly grip around the heavier wires, without being wrapped around them.

One manner of constructing the invention is shown on the drawing, where- Figure 1 shows the lathing sheet in perspectire view,

Fig. 2 a portion of the same depicted on a larger scale, also in perspective view, and

Fig. 3 a cross-section of the same, on a larger scale.

Fig. .1. is a perspective view similar to Fig. 2, but illustrating a modification of the arrangement of hooks.

placed at right angle to the laths. The laths 1 are fastened to the wires 2 by means oi finer wires 3 shaped, between the laths, as loops 4 hooking over the wires 2, see Fi s. 2 and 3, either only partly, as shown to tie left in Fig. 3, or completely, as shown to the right in Fig. 3. If preferred, every other loop may be bent to the left about the wire 2, and every other one to the right as shown 1n Fig. l, whereby the advanta e is attained that the laths are held more se curely in position. The two legs of the loop may be arranged to touch the adjacent sides or the laths, and will thus serve to limit the distance between the laths, so that this distance will correspond to the width of the .loop. As the thin wire is not wound about the heavy one, it may be relatively stout, whereby the durability of the lathing sheet is considerably increased.

Having thus described my said invention what I claim is 1. Lathing sheet comprising, in combination, parallel laths and a. number of longitudinal wires disposed partly below and partly above the said laths so as to bind the latter together, the said upper wires formmg loops in the spaces between the lathe, the said loops being bent down below the said lower wires and forming hooks engaging said lower wires to hold the lath thereto in spaced relation. 7

2. Lathing sheet comprising, in combina tion, parallel laths and a number of longitudinal wires disposed partly below and partly above the said laths so as to bind the latter together, the said lower wires being stout and extending rectilinearly and parallel to each other, while the said upper wires are slender and are disposed directly above the lower wires and form loops in the spaces between the lathe, the said loops bemg bent down below the said loweuwires and forming hooks engaging said lower wires to hold the lath theretoin spaced relation.

3. Lathing sheet comprising, in combination, parallel laths and a number of longitudinal wires disposed'partly below and partly above the said laths so as to bind the latter together, the said lower wires being stout and extending rectilinearly and parallel to each other, while the said upper wires are slender and are disposed directly above the lower wires and form loops in.

the spaces between the laths, the said loops being bent down below the said lower wires, and encircling the same completely. 4. Lathing sheet comprising, in combination, parallel laths and a number of longitudinal wires disposed partly below and partly above the said laths so as to bind the latter together, the said lower wires being stout and extending rectilinearly and parallel to each other, while the said upper wires are slender and are disposed directly above the lower wires, and form loops in the spaces between the laths, the said loops being bent below the said lower wires to form hooks, some of the said loops being bent about the lower wires in one direction and the others in'the opposite direction.

5. Lathing sheet comprising, in combination, parallel laths and a number of longitudinal wires disposed partly below and partly above the said laths so as to bind the latter together, the said lower wires being stout and extending rectilinearly and parallel to each other, while the said upper wires are slender and are disposed directly above the otthe laths and extending transversely of said lathe, all of said wires being continuous from end to end thereof, the wires at one side of said laths being bent about the wires at the opposite side to form hooks between the. laths, thereby to retain thelaths between said wires. 7 i

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification.
